For the second consecutive day, the Jacksonville Jaguars have announced the signing of a defensive end selected in the fifth round of the draft.

On Tuesday the Jaguars announced the signing of Larry Hart, a defensive end from Central Arkansas taken 143rd overall, and today they’ve announced the signing of Austen Lane, a defensive end from Murray State taken 153rd overall.

The 6-foot-5, 274-pound Lane had 29 sacks, seven forced fumbles and four blocked kicks in his college career.

With Hart and Lane signed, the Jaguars have four more picks to get under contract before the start of training camp.

The late round rookie is good naturedly referred to as “Penny” Lane now, by his more high profile teammates.
